TAT considers actions needed to restore tourist confidence in Thailand
blazes replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Most of the legitimate beefs mentioned on this thread can also be directed against other countries. One thing Thailand should consider is opening up the country in the same way as Mexico, Spain, Greece and other such countries do. (You've got 6 months in Mexico, no questions asked., no visas, no deadlines - perfect.) Let's face it, the main reason (these days) for those from cold-winter climates to visit LoS is the WEATHER. As tourists, as opposed to ex-pats, we will put up, short-term, with all the things that pi$$ us off as expats. Abandon most of your regulations. Period. -
Phuket tops list as World’s Most Overcrowded tourist destination

Apparently the new "government" have decided to re-name Phuket as Thailand Gulag. -
When I was in my 20s I used to argue about anything and everything, especially politics. At my present (advanced) age, I would say that only about 10% of things in life are ever worth arguing about. Makes for a much more peaceful life. For example, does it really matter who wins the next American presidential election when we consider the fiction we all pretend to believe in, that one man (woman?) alone can actually govern 350 million people?

Precisely. Which is why all this "mattering" (wittering?) about "climate catastrophe" doesn't matter one whit.

Very Churchillian, if I may say so....

Clearly, your ignore button doesn't work very well if you are here telling us about ignoring poor old Bob.

Blockbuster movie scares Chinese tourists away from Thailand
blazes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The 99.9% of us on this thread who understand the joke about "good news at last" are nevertheless guilty of accepting as "truth" the basic position of the dubious journalism in the main story. My own suspicion is that there is no substance to this story whatsoever. How could a journalist know whether (or not) tourist numbers were affected by this B movie.? If the numbers were affected, it would make for a story about the ignorance of the average Chinese tourist and the sad state of education in the People's Republic. -
Brexit: UK could rejoin EU as an ‘associate member’
blazes replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I just hope that this banter about passport colours is part of a satirical wind-up, an oblique way to condemn this thin-end-of-the-wedge tripe about re-entering the Brussels bo££ocks. -
Michael Connolly (the Hieronymous Bosch novels). Excellent policiers. Too bad he turned woke and pensioned off Bosch and replaced him with a woman. *metoo and all that.... The paintings (of the real Bosch) are utterly fascinating and scary.

Thai food’s bold blend of flavours: A culinary delight with a fatal bite
blazes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
An ex-gf of mine (from Roi Et) cared for her father (55) as he died of liver cancer from this deadly parasite. As a teacher of Biology at high school, maybe she is helping to reduce the incidence of this particular cancer. -

Sad to read this attempted self-justification of chronic stinginess.

If you receive good service and you expect to return to that restaurant soon, a good tip will ALWAYS guarantee even better service next time.

Thai tourism seeks visa fee waiver to attract Chinese and Indian visitors
blazes replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agree with yr second sentence. But it's unlikely that, given the conditions of life under Chinese communism, Chinese tourists would be much deterred by the problems of "democracy" in another country. -
